Where to find Amporphophallus

17 years ago

Hi all;

I have been looking for am amorphophallus bulbifer for awhile. After over a month of searcing and not finding one, I just want any amorph. what websites sell small species? (im a limited space-grower, small house. But if you count the terrarium...) is there any species suited for a large terrarium? if not I could put it in a large pot and over winter it in my basement.

So,

What websites sell amorphs, it doesnt matter of the size (once again, basement, large pot ;])

I hope all that made some sense,

Look at ebay. I do "buy it nows" as I do NOT have the patients for auctions. I bought my first Amorph (A Konjac now planted) there and should be getting another in the next day or 2.

Plant Delights Nursery has them, but they are expensive and the shipping charge is high if you don't buy a few. Brent and Becky's bulbs sends a nice bulb for $9 or so. The best bet is ebay. Buy them small and cheap, make some mistakes and learn their culture. That's the best plan.

Here is a link that might be useful: Illumination

Update: I have 1 that's about a foot or so high now, the leaves are starting to open/spread out. Photo soon. I have a 2nd one starting to poke through.

Dunno if Ken Mosher still sells from his dragocactoid website. If so, he is a good guy and has many varieties at good prices.

good luck!
